Why kill such a awsome
Why kill such a awsome animal?
How many shark attacks are from tigers anyway?
Not to mention it would've been illegal to kill as its over the maximum size limit.
Cheers to the others

not illegal as the size
not illegal as the size limit only applies to whaler sharks. 1 attack last year up at CB. We are now the shark attack capital of the world. Far to many of the things.

Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

That is a pretty little tiger
How possibly can someone just want to kill it. But thats just my opinion.
I am a rogue shark theorist, and if someone is attacked then fair game. But just innocent, let it swim free.
